[A] [D] [A]
[Bm] [A]
You know a long [D] time ago, down around Delta, Mississippi, [A] there was an old man called Bo [E] Jenkins.
Now Bo Jenkins [F] had a hollow body guitar.
[Am] [Em] Now Bo [A] had [A] five strings on his [D] guitar, but only [Am] two of the strings were for real guitar strings, you know what I mean?
[Am] [D]
The other three were rubber bands.
Now that was the first time in my life [A] I'd ever seen a guitar with two real guitar strings and three rubber bands.
[E]
[E] I'd always heard [F] saxophone players with rubber bands on the reeds and things, you know, [A] but never a guitar.
[D]
[Am] Nevertheless, old Bo Jenkins used to wake up every [A] morning and Miss Jenkins [D] would get up and put her bandana around her head and her apron on,
[A] go down to the cotton fields and get ready to pick the cotton.
Bo Jenkins' back was [Am] always hurting him, you know?
That meant he couldn't [D] pick no cotton.
But it's a funny [A] thing, they had 15 children, 10 [Am] boys and 5 girls.
[E] So you know what Bo Jenkins was doing all his life, [F] he must have done something right.
[A] So she said, well that's all right Bo, I'll go pick the cotton, [A] you come on down and sing the blues for [Em] me.
He said, my baby's gone, [D] oh she's gone [A] away.
Look [D] for my baby, but it looks like she's [A] on the stand.
[E] Oh I've got through, [F] I flopped these early.
[A] Went [D] down [E] [A] to the alley, [D] of course I heard [Am] somebody moan.
[D] Look for my baby, somebody shot [A] my baby.
From [Am] that one song, [Am] [E] oh I've got through.
[F] I flopped these early.
[A]
Can't understand it baby, [D] why you want to treat [A] me this way.
[D]
Why you want to treat me [A] this way.
[A] [E] Oh you know you're going to need my loving.
[F] You're going to want me [A] back on some day.
I think I better play the blues right here.

[D] why you want to treat me [A] this way.
Oh [D] baby, baby, why you want to treat [A] me this way.
[E] When all I ever done for you, [F] is gave you [E] good loving [A] everyday.
[E] When [A] I cried last night,
[D] daddy I cried the night before.
When I cried last night, daddy I cried the [A] night before.
[Am] [Em] But tonight I'm going to wipe away my tears.
[F] Oh Lord, [Em] cause I ain't going to cry [A] no more.
[D] Yeah, yeah, [A] yeah, yeah.
